When should I start to think about leaving a legacy?

We Focus on More than Just Your Finances

Leaving a Legacy is not the same as leaving an inheritance. At IPS Advisors, our Legacy and Wealth Planning team addresses much more than just the value of your assets.

Our Legacy and Wealth Planning process not only takes your financial situation into consideration, but also identifies other key factors that are important to building your family and/or your business Legacy. We address philanthropic goals, family history, as well as what values you want to instill through your Legacy. At IPS Advisors, we walk you through the processes designed to help reduce risk, grow and transition wealth, as well as perpetuating family values for future generations to come.

Due to the relatively short period of time the life settlement market has existed, the market is currently loosely regulated and the number of bidders for any marketed policy may be limited. Prior to selling a policy, the insured should consider factors such as the continued need for insurance coverage, whether there are plans to replace the existing policy with another policy, how the sale of the policy will impact estate plans, and the availability of new insurance as well as the cost of comparable coverage. Where relevant, tax implications must also be taken into consideration.

Loans and withdrawals from insurance policies may generate an income tax liability, reduce available cash value and reduce the death benefit or cause the policy to lapse. Early withdrawals and other distributions of taxable amounts may be subject to ordinary income tax, a surrender charge, and if taken prior to age 59 ½, a 10% federal tax penalty may apply.

All guarantees are subject to the claims paying ability of the issuing insurance company.
